African Union – Totally Useless!

There is surely some significance in the fact that the last few days have seen European Union (EU) leaders dashing to the Democratic Republic of Congo to seek a peaceful settlement whilst there remains a complete absence of concern from the African Union (AU) which has become the African presidents wining and dining club just like the old OAU.  The AU had to be kicked to get involved in resolving the Zimbabwe crisis which it failed to do and now its officials and leaders simply watch as innocent African peasants once again get pushed around by armies, bandits and militias.
